Thermite is a mixture of iron(III) oxide and aluminum powders that was once used to weld railroad tracks. It undergoes a spectacular reaction to yield solid aluminum oxide and molten iron. How many moles of iron(III) oxide are needed to form 3.603103 mol of iron?

Before arc welding was developed, a displacement reaction involving aluminum and iron(III) oxide was commonly used to produce molten iron (the thermite process). This reaction was used, for example, to connect sections of iron railroad track. Calculate the mass of molten iron produced when 2.08 kg of aluminum reacts with 15.0 mol of iron III) oxide. Enter your answer in scientific notation. 다!

When iron(III) oxide reacts with aluminum, aluminum oxide and iron are produced. The balanced equation for this reaction is Fe_2 O_3 (s) + 2AI(s) rightarrow Al_2 O_3 (s) + 2Fe (s) If S moles of aluminum react, The reaction consumes moles of iron(III) oxide The reaction produces moles of aluminum oxide and moles of iron
